In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

"In these turbulent times, who would have thought that the young cultivator we brought back would be connected to the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

To everyone's surprise, no one expected Lü Yao to achieve such success so quickly.

Yan Ruyu stood up on the high platform. The main hall was empty, but the image of Lü Yao suppressing the old Peng King kept flashing through her mind.

Qin Yao stepped forward, interrupting Yan Ruyu's thoughts: "Princess, you said you wanted to use your sacred body to nurture the Demon Emperor's sacred heart, why didn't you mention it just now?"

Yan Ruyu came to her senses: "After thinking it over, he has only reached the Dao Palace in his entire life, so he is not a good candidate."

She paused, then continued, "Moreover, I also wish to use this opportunity to find a husband to work with me on the future of the demon race."

Qin Yao had long known of Yan Ruyu's feelings and was not surprised: "Ye Fan was once hinted that if he nurtured the Emperor's heart, he could marry you. I wonder if he remembers this."

This was hinted at two years ago by the old woman beside Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu remained silent. Qin Yao gazed at her retreating figure, which resembled a lotus in the void, noble yet lonely.

So he couldn't bear it and said, "Why not arrange a marriage between us and the Holy Son of Yaoguang, and let the Holy Son of Yaoguang nurture the Azure Emperor's Holy Heart?"

Yan Ruyu turned around and frowned slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Yao Guang Holy Land has imperial weapons. If we forcibly suppress the imperial heart with imperial weapons, it may backfire and cause us to lose the imperial heart."

Qin Yao thought for a moment: "The power of the Emperor's heart is unfathomable. The princess has the bloodline of the Azure Emperor and the Chaos Azure Lotus, which the Yao Guang Holy Land cannot occupy."

"I arranged a time with Ye Fan to catch up and let him probe the thoughts of the Holy Son of Yao Guang."

Yan Ruyu paused for a moment, unsure whether to agree or not, and instead brought up other matters:

"The nineteenth-generation descendant is about to succeed. His primordial spirit is a great power, and Pang Bo's demonic body is of the four extremes. After success, their cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and their physical bodies will enter the Immortal Platform in a short time..."

Qin Yao thought about the appearance of the nineteenth generation descendant of the Azure Emperor and pouted: "In my opinion, the nineteenth generation descendant is not as good as the Holy Son of Yao Guang. If the princess wants to rely on him to revive the demon race, she should invest in the Holy Son of Yao Guang instead."

Yan Ruyu: "His nineteenth-generation descendant was once a great power, even the Dragon King couldn't fathom his true strength, as for the Holy Son of Yaoguang..."

For reasons unknown, Yan Ruyu did not refute Qin Yao's words.

This made Qin Yao understand her thoughts, and she said with a smile, "Rumor has it that the Holy Master of the Feng family took the initiative to marry off his daughter. The princess is no less than the princess of the Feng family. Moreover, being close to the water tower gives her an advantage. As long as she wears a thin veil in front of that Yao Guang Holy Son, appearing half-hidden... how can she not win him over?"

Qin Yao was bold and charming. She placed her hand on Yan Ruyu's waist from behind, gently wrapping it around her waist, holding it in her hand.

Yan Ruyu slapped her hand, pretending to be angry, and said, "You're getting more and more unruly."

Qin Yao drew out her words, revealing a charmingly naive tone: "Not refusing means you agree—"

Having said that, she prepared to leave the hall, her hips swaying gracefully, exuding allure and fiery charm. But upon reaching the hall's entrance, she seemed to remember something, turning back to look at the elegant figure on the high platform, and pleaded:

"There are the remains of a saintly being in the Dragon King's treasure vault. May I take Ye Fan to see them?"

Yan Ruyu looked at Qin Yao with a half-smile: "You said you had nothing to do with the Holy Body... Go, take her to see him..."

After saying that, a beam of azure light shot from her hand and floated in front of Qin Yao: "This is the seal of the Azure Dragon King. Holding it allows you to enter the treasure vault."

"Thank you, Princess!"

-----------------

"Old Lu, if the demon race really doesn't want to release Pang Bo, I'm prepared to cause a huge scene here."

Ye Fan was in the courtyard where Lü Yao was resting, while Hei Huang and Tu Fei had disappeared.

But with the reputation of the bandit Tu Tian, ​​even if he caused some trouble, Tu Fei could keep it under control.

Lu Yao looked at Ye Fan's anxious face and said, "The demon race will not give up on Pang Bo, so we don't need to make a big fuss. Under the cover of night, we can sneak into the Hall of Immortality, kill the nineteenth generation descendant, and let Pang Bo take over the identity of the nineteenth generation descendant."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's eyes lit up: "The identity of the nineteenth generation descendant?"

"The demon race is quite powerful and can provide Pang Bo with many resources. Isn't that better than being a rogue cultivator? After destroying the primordial spirit of the nineteenth generation descendant, as long as Pang Bo's primordial spirit is disguised with a secret technique, no one can tell the difference between the real and the fake."

"Good idea." Ye Fan originally wanted to take Pang Bo away, but now it seems that letting him stay in the demon race is the best option.

As for the secret technique of disguising one's primordial spirit, Ye Fan knows it; it was taught to him by Lü Yao in Zhongzhou, and he can pass it on to Pang Bo.

With the matter settled, Ye Fan calmed down, and the two chatted about the past in the pavilion.

Ye Fan suddenly said, "Yan Ruyu once said that I wanted to nurture the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart with the Sea of ​​Wheels, but it seems she forgot and didn't mention it."

"You could ask her for it," Lu Yao joked.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Fan shook his head: "After learning from you what kind of existence the Great Emperor is, how could I dare to believe the restrictions that the Dragon Transformation cultivator placed on the Emperor's Heart? If the Emperor's Heart enters the Sea of ​​Wheels, I'm afraid I'll be crippled."

Lü Yao: "You have the green copper block and the blue lotus phenomenon, so perhaps that situation won't occur."

Ye Fan chuckled and said, "Let's forget it. With the Emperor's Heart absorbing my essence, it will be even harder for me to break through to the Four Extremes Realm."

On the contrary, you have an imperial weapon to suppress the Sea of ​​Wheels, profound cultivation, and the Yao Guang Holy Land is a perfect match for the demon race. You are more suitable. How about I sound out the demon race for you?

Lü Yao laughed and scolded, "Now that you've joined Beidou, you've started pimping!"

"Your words were so harsh, they hurt my young heart. You have to compensate me with ten million catties of Yuan."

Ye Fan clutched his heart, feigning heartache.

Lu Yao ignored him completely, pretending not to see him. Ye Fan, finding the act boring, could only pick up a spirit fruit, take a bite, and say, "You're so heartless. You weren't like this on Earth."

Lu Yao, however, got down to business: "We can't linger here too long. After we find out the truth about the Immortal Palace in the next two days, we'll go rescue Pang Bo. The Peach Banquet at Yaochi is about to begin, and the Yaochi Holy Land will be a stage for many great events."

The families of the Northern Plains, the Buddhist lands of the Western Desert, the barbarian tribes of the Southern Region, the Immortal Dynasty of the Central Continent, and the holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness will all send their young prodigies and top experts to participate; it's much more interesting than here."

Lu Yao was very interested in the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly Emperor's Son at Yaochi Holy Land.

Moreover, with so many forces gathered here, if he were to set up a challenge, conceal his cultivation level, and use ancient scriptures as bait, wouldn't many prodigies be willing to wager their own scriptures to challenge him?

I can't wait!

“Alright, Black Emperor is a master of Dao patterns. I’ll go to Qin Yao’s place tonight, and then I’ll ask him to come with me to investigate the Hall of Immortality.”

Ye Fan didn't linger and left immediately. As night approached, he planned to find the Black Emperor and then see what message Qin Yao wanted to tell him.

Lu Yao looked at Ye Fan's back with envy. Young people are so lucky. Every place is a home. When Ye Heizi becomes the Heavenly Emperor, he must mention it to the Empress.

Chapter 122 A Man and a Woman Alone

That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its radiant light.

Lu Yao was practicing in a side hall, sitting upright, with a large dragon on his back exuding a misty dragon aura.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked out the window. The ancient trees were tall and vigorous, with the veins of their leaves clearly visible, and a clear spring was flowing, tinkling and gurgling.

But that doesn't matter, because a shadow suddenly appeared at the window.

With its long snout, bright eyes, and smooth fur, who else could it be but Black King?

His two paws rested on the windowsill, and he stretched his huge head in, grinning as he looked around, making sure his gaze met Lü Yao's.

He tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, and grinned, "Hey kid, there's a good show coming, wanna watch?"

Lu Yao frowned and asked curiously, "In the dead of night, instead of cultivating or resting, what good thing could be going on?"

Black Emperor raised his head: "Come with me. You are young and haven't seen or done many things. I will show you the world. This is different from cultivation. You will never understand until you have truly seen it."

Lu Yao's curiosity was truly piqued. What exactly was inside the Azure Dragon King's Secret Realm that he didn't know about?

Is it the remains of the Ancient Sacred Body in the Dragon King's Treasure Vault? Or the terrain of the Yellow Spring Tomb in the Hall of Immortality? Or perhaps the Chaos Green Lotus and the Sacred Heart of the Azure Emperor? But the latter two should be carried by Yan Ruyu, unlike the Yao Guang Sacred Land, which keeps them in its deepest place.

Apart from that, there seems to be nothing else here that catches the Black Emperor's eye.

"Hey, Mo Wen, come with me quickly." The Black Emperor waved his large claw and then disappeared through the window.

Lü Yao got up and walked out of the palace gate.

This is a courtyard within Yan Ruyu's vast palace complex, where he, Ye Fan, Tu Fei, and the Black Emperor each reside in their own quarters.

Several old trees grow in the courtyard, and a path branches into three or four lanes, leading to the pavilion, flower garden, and pond in the courtyard. The courtyard is bathed in moonlight, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fragrant flowers.

Under an old tree, two figures stood in the dark shadows; they were Hei Huang and Tu Fei.

Lu Yao went up and met up with the man and the dog. He looked around and found that Ye Fan was not there, so he asked, "Where's Ye Zi?"

Hei Huang and Tu Fei exchanged a smile.

Lu Yao had a bad feeling, as if his reputation as the Holy Son of Yaoguang was about to be ruined by this man and dog.

Tu Fei grinned, revealing a large set of teeth, and said with a sly smile, "Black Emperor said there was a good show to watch, and insisted on dragging me along. I have no idea what it is."

Tu the bandit immediately shifted all the blame to Black Emperor, but he didn't seem to know anything.

Lu Yao felt that things were not going well, so he turned to go back, saying, "You guys go ahead, I'm going back to continue my cultivation."

All his achievements stem from self-discipline and diligence. He should spend more time cultivating himself to avoid falling into the Black Emperor's trap.

Black Emperor lunged forward and grabbed Lü Yao's leg: "Holy Son Lü, I'm really not lying to you. Besides, it's not just the three of us going; there are other demons there too. If I lied to you, I'd ascend to immortality on the spot!"

Lu Yao kicked him away and patted the black claw marks on his clothes: "What a big face! You think you can get the dream of so many emperors just by swearing an oath?"

Black Emperor rolled over, but showed no sign of retaliation. Instead, he grinned and returned to his original position, saying, "It's only because you're here that I dare to even think about it."

These words immediately filled Lü Yao with vigilance. This was so unlike the Black Emperor. He should have been bitten or verbally abused after being kicked by him.

Something's fishy tonight!

"Are there other demons here?" Lü Yao asked cautiously.

But since there are other people around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

The Black Emperor is a very cunning creature, so we can't completely trust him. Therefore, Lü Yao tested him again: "I can go, but you have to teach me another array pattern."

Upon hearing this, Black Emperor immediately took three steps back and stood to the side, pointing his claws at the palace where Lü Yao resided: "Lü boy, why don't you go back? Tu Fei and I can go on our own for something this fun."

That damned human brat! It wasn't enough that he got the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern from Emperor Wushi; he wants another one too. I'll make sure he loses face in a moment.

Lu Yao felt a pang of regret.

"Let's go then, I want to see what kind of show we can see," Lü Yao agreed.

Black Emperor turned around and led the way, with Lü Yao and Tu Fei following behind.

Lu Yao didn't notice that Black King was in front of him with its big, scarlet tongue hanging out and a strange smile on its black dog face.

Tu Fei stood beside him, pursing his lips, his cheeks slightly puffed out, occasionally rubbing his cheeks with his hands.

Anyone who has done this knows that it's a way of suppressing laughter.

It's obvious that Tu Fei, that bastard, knows what Black Emperor is going to do with Lü Yao! The man and the dog are in cahoots!
